Planning The InstallationHINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater

yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.

HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify thedimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontalpenetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust thestove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.

HINT: Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug theheater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burnoff any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.

Stove Placement• Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,

doors), 36" of the front of the heater.

• If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow therequirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".

HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fireofficials.

• Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.

Floor Protection Requirements• The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width

and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (minimum 25" wide by 29" deep)(minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .

© Travis Industries 4080728 100-01 1 5 6

Alcove Installation RequirementsWhen the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is consideredan alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.

• Minimum height is 60"

• Minimum width is 43"

• Maximum depth is 48"

• Minimum clearance of 9" on each side and 3" on back

Baffle InstallationInstall the baffles included with the stove (see page 29 for details).

Door Seal VerificationThe door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door tobecome mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal"under Yearly Maintenance).

Restrictor AdjustmentThe restrictor is used to adjust airflow to the firepot. It should be adjusted to match the heat output settingand burn the pellets at the appropriate rate. This keeps the firepot as clean as possible.

For low heat output settings the restrictor will need to be closed or near closed to limit the amount of air.This prevents the stove from burning the pellet fuel faster than it is fed.

For medium heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a medium position.

For high heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a high position. This prevents thefirepot from over-filling with pellets and becoming clogged with ash clumps.

Keeping your firepot clean is the most important step to maintaining a safe and efficient stove. Check andclean your firepot daily until you find the correct restrictor settings and appropriate firepot cleaning interval.

Not Enough Air

If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump)develop or the flame appears lazy and slowto blow the ash out of the firepot, pull therestrictor outward until the flame becomesactive and the firepot holes remain clean.NOTE: If the restrictor is fully out, yet thefirepot does not remain clean, the stoveneeds to be cleaned and checked for airleaks (see “Maintenance” section of thismanual).

Too Much Air

If the flames are too active (small, flickeringflames) or if burning pellets are expelledfrom the firepot, move the restrictor rodinwards until the flame slows down and noburning pellets are expelled (note: it is okayto have “glowing embers” jump out of thefirepot). Another symptom of too much airis the heater “blowing the fire out” – acondition in which the pellets burn fasterthan they are fed (this is most common onlow).

Starting the Heater for the First Time

Start the Heater - Let it Burn for 1 Hour - THEN OPEN THE DOOR

The stove paint is cured through heat. To prevent it from bonding to the door gasket, you must burnthe heater for approximately 1 hour, then open and close the door to break any bonding.

Curing the Paint

This stove uses a heat-activated paint that willemit some fumes while starting the first fire.Open doors and windows to the room to ventthese fumes. You may also notice oil burningoff of the interior of the stove. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.

Priming the Auger AAAAAAA

AAAA

2 to 4 hours

Because of its electronic control panel, this stove does not require priming. If you run out of pelletsyou may notice it will take approximately 5 minutes longer for the stove to start.

Auto ModeAuto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turnson when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operatingtemperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.

To Adjust Room Temperature (or Start the Stove)

Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If the room iscooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-upsequence for approximately 10 minutes. During this period thelowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. Once up to temperature,the stove will then run at the heat output setting selected on thecontrol panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to alesser setting.

To Adjust the Heat

Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heatoutput.

HINT:

If you find that the stove turns on and offrepeatedly, you may wish to turn the heatoutput to a lesser setting. The lower settingwill provide a more consistent heat output overtime, eliminating the need for the thermostat torepeatedly turn the stove off.

NOTE:

If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove isstill cooling down, the stove will go through thestart-up sequence (for a minimum of 20minutes).

Restrictor AdjustmentThe restrictor is used to adjust airflow to the firepot. It should be adjusted to match the heat output settingand burn the pellets at the appropriate rate. This keeps the firepot as clean as possible.

For low heat output settings the restrictor will need to be closed or near closed to limit the amount of air.This prevents the stove from burning the pellet fuel faster than it is fed.

For medium heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a medium position.

For high heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a high position. This prevents thefirepot from over-filling with pellets and becoming clogged with ash clumps.

Keeping your firepot clean is the most important step to maintaining a safe and efficient stove. Check andclean your firepot daily until you find the correct restrictor settings and appropriate firepot cleaning interval.

Not Enough Air

If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump)develop or the flame appears lazy and slow toblow the ash out of the firepot, pull therestrictor outward until the flame becomesactive and the firepot holes remain clean.NOTE: If the restrictor is fully out, yet the firepotdoes not remain clean, the stove needs to becleaned and checked for air leaks (see“Maintenance” section of this manual).

Too Much Air

If the flames are too active (small, flickeringflames) or if burning pellets are expelled fromthe firepot, move the restrictor rod inwards untilthe flame slows down and no burning pelletsare expelled (note: it is okay to have “glowingembers” jump out of the firepot). Anothersymptom of too much air is the heater “blowingthe fire out” – a condition in which the pelletsburn faster than they are fed (this is mostcommon on low).

Operation 25

© Travis Industries 4080728 100-01156

Start-Up SequenceThis stove utilizes a start-up sequence whenever the mode switch is changed or the heater is startedwhen cold. This is to ensure proper operation through all possible settings and operational states (hotor cold, pellets burning or not burning, etc.). This sequence over-rides all user settings (except the"OFF" position) to set the auger feed rate to medium, the exhaust blower to high, and the igniter on.During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash.

"AUGER ON" LightThis light comes on when the auger is turning. This allows the operator to determine when the augeris turning.

"Maintenance Required" LightN O T E : If the “MAINTENACE REQUIRED” lightcomes on, check the items below before callingfor service .

The “MAINTENACE REQUIRED” light is used toindicate maintenance is required on the heater. Itwill turn on due to various operating circumstances.When it turns on, a second light will turn on near“HEAT OUTPUT” (see the illustration to the right).Determine the maintenance code (2, 4, or 6), thenuse the chart below to diagnose and remedy thesituation.

"MANUAL AUGER" ButtonThis button turns the auger on. It is used to “prime” the auger after the hopper has run out of pellets.

Power OutagesIf a sustained power outage occurs while in "Manual", the stove will go to a "cool down" mode tovacate smoke once power returns. If the power outage was short, the heater will go to the start-upsequence. If in "Auto", the stove will re-start (if the room is cool).

! Because this stove relies upon a blower to evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enterthe home during a power outage. To keep to a minimum, leave the door closed.

Using a Pellet/Corn Mix with This HeaterThis heater may burn a mixture of corn and wood pellets up to a 50% - 50% proportion by volume.Shelled corn burned in Travis pellet appliances must be clean (free of husk and cob residue) and havea moisture content no greater than 15%.

DO NOT BURN A MIX WITH MORE THAN 50% CORN TO WOOD PELLETS.

THOROUGHLY MIX THE TWO FUELS TOGETHER TO BE SURE OF AN

EVEN BURN RATE.

• If combustion is slow, if the fire is slow to start, or if clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump)build up rapidly in the fire pot, decrease the proportion of corn and increase the proportionof wood pellets until you find a proportion that works well in your appliance.

• If your stove or insert is operated with a thermostat, you may notice the automatic igniter attimes fails to light a 50/50 corn to pellet mix. If you experience this, decrease the proportionof corn and increase the proportion of wood pellets in the mix.

For an optimum fire and greatest efficiency, it is important to keep the fire pot free of built up ashes. Ifyou are burning only high quality wood pellets, you should check and clean the fire pot at least everytwo weeks or after ten bags of pellets.

If the pellets you are burning have a high ash content or if you burn a corn/wood pellet mixture, werecommend that you check the fire pot every day and clean it if necessary.

Inspect the Burn

When burning on high, theflames should be bright orangewith embers jumping from thefirepot.

NOTE : the optimal restrictorposition will vary over time as sootbuilds up inside the exhaustsystem. See "RestrictorAdjustment" for details.

Make Sure Pellets areNot Piling Up

If the pellets pile up over the burnpot, turn the mode switch to"OFF".

The most likely causes are:

• Restrictor needs adjustment(see “Restrictor Adjustment”in the installation section ofthis manual)

• The door, glass, or ashpan isopen or has an air leak

Weekly Maintenance (or every 5 bags of pellets)

Flyash Removal

This heater was designed to allow for easy flyash removal with the included tools. However, to easemaintenance, several pellet stove owners have purchased vacuums specifically made to removeflyash. Furthermore, some of these vacuums are heat-resistant to allow for flyash removal while it is stillwarm. Do not use a standard vacuum on this appliance (except to clean the pellet dust outof the hopper). Standard vacuums may spread the fine particles inside the flyash into the home andare not heat-resistant (hot flyash may cause the internal portion of vacuums to ignite).

Clean the Hopper

Run the stove until the pellets run out. Open the hopper and remove the dust and debris near thebottom of the hopper.

Clean the Heat Exchange Tubes

WARNING:

The front edge of the

hopper lid becomes very

hot, do not touch the area

below the handle.

With the stove cool (or using the door

latch tool), move the heat exchange

cleaner up and down several times.

Keep the door closed so the

flyash does not enter the room.

WARNING : Make sure the heater has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service.

WARNING : The ashpan must be in place while the heater is in use.

NOTE:

When replacing the ash pan make sure it is pushed all the way in.

The ash pan has a built in

handle to ease

transportation of the ashes.

Yearly Maintenance (or every ton)The following section details extensive maintenance procedures. We strongly suggestthese items be carried out by a trained service technician, possibly by a service agreementset up with your dealer.

WARNING: Disconnect the power cord and make sure the heater has fully cooledprior to conducting service.

Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal – The products of combustion willcontain small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict theflow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrectoperation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust ventingsystem. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine ifcleaning is necessary.

Clean the Vertical Exhaust Duct

Clean the refractory and

the entire area behind it

(both sides).

Remove these doors to

remove fallen flyash and

soot (see “Bi-Weekly

Remove both

refractory clips.

Clean the Exhaust Duct(the stove must be cooland unplugged)

Clean the ConvectionBlower(the stove must be cool andunplugged)

The convection blower inlet can be vacuumed out (if needed). If extensive cleaning is needed, it can be removed for cleaning.

Clean the Vent

Check the vent sections for creosote accumulation (indicating a poorly burning stove). Accumulation over 1/4” must be removed.

On vertically vented systems, the dirtiest portion is often the point where the vent turns upwards (i.e. the "Tee"). Fortunately, the "Tee" has a built-in clean-out cover. Place a container under the “Tee”, disconnect the cover and remove all flyash. While open, use a flashlight to look up the vent to check for build-up.

Make sure the cap is free of debris (especially if it has a screen that could become blocked).

Flyash will deposit along sections that are horizontal.AA

Warning: Whenever any portion of the pellet vent is disconnected, the joints must be sealed withRTV 500° F. silicone sealant.

Yearly Maintenance (or every ton) - continued

Door Seal

! Air leaks into the firebox will decrease thestove's performance greatly, leading toexcessive sooting, inefficient burning,and perhaps a malfunction.

• The door gasket must contact the entireperimeter of the door and create an air-tight seal. To verify this, open the door,hold a dollar bill against the body of theheater, close the door, and secure thelatch. The dollar bill should be held firmlyin place (check the entire perimeter of thedoor. If it is loose or falls out, the doormust be adjusted (see the followingpage).

Door Alignment

Because the door is three-sided, it iscrucial the door is aligned correctly.We recommend that you open thehopper lid and look down upon thedoor and body of the heater. Use theillustration to the right to determinethe correct door alignment.

Correctly Aligned Door

When properly adjusted, the door should be evenly

spaced from the front of the stove (and shut tight,

compressing the gasket).
